The familiar blue pickup truck is driving on the country road of Manning, and the V-shaped canyon looming in front of it is like a hell gate to the Nine Yellow Springs, swallowing everything around it.

"It's Elkins' house in front of me, and the map drawn by the barmaid is pretty recognizable." Bella looked at the hand-drawn map of the bar owner in her hand.

Li Si nodded: "It's almost time to reach the destination, isn't it time to clean up the flies?"

Bella glanced at the rearview mirror on the right: "Don't worry, let's see what their purpose is." ”

"Madame is wise!"

It wasn't long before Liszt and his wife saw the cottage getting closer and closer, and according to the barmaid, Daniel Elkins was the only one living near the canyon.

"It should be here, go down and have a look."

Liszt parked the car and looked sideways at Bella, "Are you ready for an adventure, Girl?"

Bella took off her coat, revealing her black tight vest, patted the 1911 holster under her left side armpit, and defiantly glanced at Liszt to get out of the car.

"Wait, check the bullets, I don't want a dollar from you."

“WHAT?”

Liszt didn't explain, picked up Bella's coat and handed it over: "Put it on, don't be too high-profile!" As she spoke, her eyes looked at Bella's snow-white skin unscrupulously.

Bella found it and straightened her chest: "What are you peeking at?"

"I'm not peeking, I'm looking at my wife in the open."

Bella pushed the car door open and put on her coat: "We're not married yet." ”

"Then you are mine too, for the rest of my life." Liszt also got out of the car, he also wore the armpit holster, the one on both shoulders, the gun was too twisted in the waist when driving, it was still this kind of "retro" holster, the concealment was cool enough, the point was cool enough.

"Bella, I said earlier, you should wear leg holsters."

"Do you want me to wear another fiery red slit dress?"

"Black is fine, but don't forget to wear safety pants."

"Heyman, I didn't know you liked this."

"Will you satisfy me, then?"

"Look at your performance, is now the time to talk about this?"

"It doesn't seem to be."

The young men and women who were talking to each other had already opened the door of the hut, and Liszt did not hear the breathing of anyone inside, so he did not ask again: "Is there anyone?" ”

The light of the flashlight shone around: "Bella, find the switch first." ”

"Will it startle the snake, I mean should we be hidden."

"No, if someone is watching here, then I think it's more appropriate to do this, if we can lure them out, then we don't have to bother to find it, this trick is called inviting you into the urn and beating the grass and startling the snake is used in a row."

"Did you smell anything?"

"Bella at your feet, it should be salt."

"Salt? You say this charred thing is salt, what's the use? Poisoned?" Bella found the switch to turn on the light, and when she looked down, she found some tiny blackened particles on the floor.

"I don't know, but what do you look like you're guarding against?"

Liszt remembered the Hong Kong-made zombie movies he liked to watch when he was a child, and Uncle Ying often used glutinous rice to sprinkle glutinous rice on the ground to prevent zombies, and these in Elkins's house were really similar to that.

"Look there, it looks like someone broke the door violently." Liszt put away his flashlight and motioned for Bella to look at a room in front of him, where there were pieces of wood on the floor and large bookshelves that had fallen on the floor.

After the two entered, they saw the corpse lying on the ground again, no, it should be said that it was a corpse piece, and Liszt saw an old man's head rolled into a corner, and the corpse was broken into a dozen pieces, but there was very little blood on the ground.

"Oh my God, these wounds look like they were bitten by a wild beast, like Victoria's?" Bella remembers the red-haired female vampire.

"No, the vampires that are induced by special means to hunt people are very similar to wild beasts, but they only suck blood and do not tear the corpse into this way. Judging from the residual blood, he should have been dead when he was dismembered, so it makes sense. ”

"What do you mean?"

"The vampire who killed Elkins is probably the one that Elkins hunted before but didn't succeed, in other words, they have a vendetta, the vampire wants blood, the active kind, and the blood of the dead is not a good thing for them."

"The same effect as a blood clotter?"

"Pretty much."

Liszt is not very clear, he has never tried the effect of dead people's blood on vampires with blood clotting agents, compared to blood clotting agents, going to the hospital morgue or crematorium or even going to the cemetery to dig up the freshly buried corpse and draw blood, well, it is more reliable for him to spend money on blood clotting agents.

"Policeman, put your hands up!"

Bella squinted at Liszt as if to say: This is what you said about inviting you into the urn?

At the Manning Township Police Station, Liszt and Bella were taken into two separate interrogation rooms for questioning separately.

Liszt noticed that the people behind him were following, originally he thought of "fishing for law enforcement" to see who was interested in the two of them, maybe it happened to be the vampire who killed Elkins, which saved him time to search, who knew that it was actually two policemen, needless to say, they must have been followed as outsiders who behaved abnormally when they were in a bar.

Manning, like most rural America, is small and easily recognizable when outsiders enter.

It was also the bad luck of the Liszt couple that the scene of asking the proprietress about Elkins in the bar was seen by the local sheriff who was drinking there.

They weren't sure that Liszt and Liszt were the bad guys, but their professional habits made them target Liszt.

Liszt didn't just be arrested, he found out that it was indeed the police, and he followed the normal procedure, otherwise Liszt and Bella would not have followed them back to the police station obediently.

Fortunately, Liszt and the police arrived at Elkins' hut on their front and back feet, and there was no obvious blood stain on either of them, and the injuries on Elkins' body did not look like they were man-made.

However, since both men were armed with guns, they had to stay at the police station for 48 hours to allow the sheriff time to verify the identities of the two Listers, even though it was proved that Elkins' death had nothing to do with the Liszt and Liszt.

Liszt could have knocked the two sheriffs unconscious and run away, but then his license plate number would be recorded, and he himself would be on the local police wanted list, which was not what Liszt wanted.

So Liszt chose to cooperate, as for whether he would worry about the vampire running away, Liszt thought that the possibility was not very high, or that he would have run away a long time ago, and if he didn't run away after committing the first crime, then he would basically stay and continue to hunt the next unlucky guy.

"Mr. St Lee, we called the LAPD to verify, you do run a detective agency, you have all the papers, and that King from New York has also provided testimony to prove that you are indeed commissioned by him, but it seems that he is not Elkins's nephew, I hope you can explain?"

Liszt scolded his Golden Pig teammates in his heart, and explained without humility or arrogance: "First of all, we are indeed commissioned detectives, which you have also confirmed, and secondly, Jin is our employer, in fact, this is the first commission of our detective agency, I don't want to mess it up, so we are not in place to verify the identity of the employer, we will improve." ”

The sheriff stared at Liszt for a long time, as if trying to see if Liszt was lying, and Liszt showed him what "sincerity" was.

It's a spirit 30 person anyway, and he doesn't need to use explosive skills, and when the sheriff's eyes meet Liszt's, the ending is already doomed.

"Congratulations Li, you're ready to go."

"Well, I want to know where my girlfriend is?"

"She's waiting for you at the door."

"Thank you!"

When Liszt and the others left the police station, the sheriff realized that he seemed to have forgotten to explain something, what was it?

Elkins's house, Liszt and Liszt came here again, looked at the ring of guards outside the wooden house, and asked on a whim: "Will the police allow private detectives to come and go at will in this kind of case that has just happened?"

"I don't know, maybe they thought the beast did it, so they didn't really care about it." Liszt casually said nonsense, anyway, the magistrate didn't specifically ask them for this, and it wasn't his pot if there was a problem.

Stepping back into the scene of the murder, Bella suddenly said, "Do you still want to turn on the lights?"

Bella, you've changed!
